The

Display

panel

includes

the

REMOTE

SENSOR

for

receiving

the

Infra

Red

signals

from

the

REMOTE

CONTROL

handset.

Please

be

certain

not

to

block

this

the

Remote

handset

will

not

function

if

this

is

covered

or

blocked.

The

Display

on

the

RD

960BX

will

normally

show

a

"0000"

when

first

turned

on.

It

will

show

the

current

position

of

the

tape

in

minutes

and

seconds

or

in

during

PLAY,

FF

or

REW.

Select

the

with

the

TIME

COUNTER

button.

Pressing

the

PAUSE

button

will

make

the

cassette

deck

stay

in

the

same

place

on

the

tape

and

the

PAUSE

indicator

light

will

flash.

No

sound

will

be

heard

until

you

press

the

The

(»)

or

will

go

back

to

the

beginning

of

the

song

(«)

on

the

tape,

if

pressed

during

PLAY.

This

engages

the

MUSIC

SEARCH

circuit.

MUSIC

SEARCH

"looks"

for

blank

places

in

the

tape

that

are

approximately

4

to

5

seconds

long

and

press

the

REPEAT

At

the

button

to

"Zero"

the

display.

When

the

RD

960BX

reaches

the

end

of

the

tape

it

will

rewind

to

Zero,

the

MEMORY

REWIND

point,

and

then

stop.

This

may

be

combined

with

REPEAT

to

create

a

continuous

play

mode.

Press

the

MEMORY

button

a

second

time

to

end

this

function.

The

TIME

COUNTER

button,

if

pressed

once,

will

change

the

Display

readout

from

digits

to

Time

elapsed

on

the

tape.

Pressing

it

again

will

return

the

display

to

digits.

The

MPX

button

engages

a

high

frequency

filter

that

is

designed

to

remove

the

19

kHz

pilot

tone

from

the

MPX

signal

of

an

FM

Stereo

tuner.

This

should

be

used

only

when

recording

from

your

tuner.

It

reduces

the

high

frequency

response

of

the

RD

960BX

above

15

kHz

when

it

is

engaged.

The

NR

B/C/OFF

button

engages

the

DOLBY

B

and

C

Noise

Reduction

circuits.

The

DOLBY

circuits

provide

improved

signal

to

noise

ratios

during

recording

and

playback

of

your

tapes.

The

DOLBY

B

circuit

will

improve

the

signal

to

noise

ratio

by

approximately

10

dB,

DOLBY

C

will

add

another

10

dB

or

so

improvement

to

the

signal

to

noise

ratio.

You

should

use

the

same

NR

during

PLAY

that

you

have

used

during

RECORD

for

maximum

fidelity.

We

have

included

the

DOLBY

HX

PRO

circuit

to

improve

the

high

frequency

response

of

the

recordings

of

NORMAL

and

SPECIAL

tapes

made

with

the

RD

960BX.

This

circuit

has

been

included

to

more

closely

approximate

the

performance

of

METAL

tapes

with

NORMAL

or

SPECIAL

tape

types.

DOLBY

HX

PRO

works

during

RECORD

with

TYPE

1

or

NORMAL

and

TYPE

2,

Cr02

or

SPECIAL

tapes

only.

The

best

way

to

describe

how

this

circuit

works

would

be

to

imagine

that

the

cassette

deck

is

reading

the

musical

score

and

adjusting

the

recording

bias

dynamically

to

enable

the

tape

to

accept

the

maximum

amount

of

high

frequency

energy,

without

overloading,

that

the

music

requires.
